Under the Sea
Guy Harvey’s largest canvas yet is the Guy Harvey Outpost, a

Beach. With warm hospitality and an uncommon level of
personalized service, Guy Harvey Outpost welcomes guests
with vistas of the sea, a colorful and chic Sandbox lounge
area, lush tropical courtyards and endless activities for outdoor

Harvey chose St. Pete Beach for the first Guy Harvey Outpost
in the United States.

“Swim with the Fishes” at the RumFish Grill allows visitors the
opportunity to snorkel in the 33,500 gallon aquarium built by
Wayde King and Brett Raymer of Animal Planet’s hit series,
“Tanked.” The extremely unique experience puts snorkelers
up close and personal with more than 30 species of
indigenous fish including snook, redfish, trout, tarpon, grouper,
snapper, a nurse shark and even an eel. The program is open
to visitors ages eight and up and includes a “behind the
scenes” tour highlighting eco-initiatives and tank management.
The SandBox
The new SandBox at the Guy Harvey Outpost is a beachfront
lounging experience complete with sofas with fire tables,
colorful Adirondack seating, dolphin chairs and swaying
hammocks. It is also home to the Triple Wipe-Out – where
guests can surf on dry land. Guests can savor the sunset and
roast marshmallows and s’mores nightly. VIP Cabanas can be
rented daily and come with a tv, fan and personal server.
